beavers in june

30th Jun 2009 (10:40:34) by Robin

This June saw Beaver Design finish a number of websites and graphic design projects for various clients. For One Workplayce (work-play-ce) we created a distinct and stylish website for their brand.

For the newly formed Tudor Facilities Management, we provided a whole new brand, with a new design and logo. On the graphic design side, we have created stationery and a quality brochure; and on the web design side, we are currently finalising a new website.

A new website for the official PA team for Reading FC has gone live, called ‘Back the Boys’. And Beaver Design’s conceptual work has continued this month with a number of packaging designs. These designs have gone off for use in market research to help determine the products of the future.

Speaking of the future, did you see our latest web advice article in Axis Magazine? This month we wrote about the future of the web and some of the big things which are going to change how we work and live in the years to come.

Were you there?

Last Wednesday Beaver Design was at the HBI Business Expo in the Galleria, Hatfield. Many businesses from the local area were exhibiting, networking and demonstrating their services. A great day and if you missed a chance to talk to us, please just get in touch!

And finally, we’ve had several applicants for our open position of web developer, but the position hasn't been taken yet... If you or someone you know is interested, then just send through a CV!

beavers in may

29th May 2009 (09:30:08) by Dave

Throughout May, Beaver Design has been working on a variety of different projects. With our web team, we have been developing a number of sites to go live in June, as well as completing web design work for Lefa Print and Chigwell Construction.

Our very own Dave Suter has written an article for the local Axis Magazine, looking at brand identity and how important it is to have a design which works throughout your business (you can download it here).

We’ve also been busy with some photography for market research. The images we’ve taken will be used to develop concepts for a well-known brand on your supermarket shelf.

Going and growing

The second HBI Business Expo is approaching on the 24th June at The Galleria, Hatfield. Beaver Design will be there again to demonstrate our services and what a difference it makes to chose Beaver. The last HBI event was a huge success and this one in June will be well worth attending – so come on down!

And finally, Beaver Design has a new position available. We’re looking for a web developer to join our growing Beaver team. If you or someone you know is interested, then please get in touch!
 

disney design & menu salvations

22nd May 2009 (09:22:28) by James

The Beaver Group has been busy over the last few weeks creating digital signage content and digital menu board promotions for Showcase Cinemas.

Every week, new movies are released and shown throughout the country’s cinemas and each week, new posters are needed to promote these current and upcoming movie releases. For Showcase Cinemas, this means digital posters – since throughout their Bristol, Leicester, Derby and Nottingham venues, they are using a complete digital signage system provided by Beaver Group.

The artwork comes direct from the movie distributors to Beaver Group, where we edit, animate and create the digital signage posters for Showcase Cinemas. This is for a variety of different movies, since more than just one poster can be shown on the same screen. Beaver create the posters for small movies, as well as the big films from Paramount, 20th Century Fox, Disney and others.

Digital menu boards

Beaver Group also creates new promotions for the concession stand menu boards to tie in with current movie releases. Recently, this has been in the form of promotional content to tie in with Terminator Salvation and the Ron Howard thriller, Angels & Demons.

By using digital menu boards, Showcase Cinemas has the ability to run various well-timed promotions and generate sales uplift for their concession items. As soon as the movie stops showing at the cinema, the standard promotional content can resume at the click of a button – meaning relevant promotions for maximum impact.
